Just got the game for PS4. Having never played the series I al downriggt awful and find the conteols somewhat challenging at first. Do people make good CAW representations of missing wrestlers, or is getting it for PC and modding a better choice? I got the Season Pass, but there's still attires, wrestlers, etc. I'd love to add. Is this possible on console? Is it easy on PC? Will I eventually not suck at the game? Any pointers??

The PC version is moddable with completely custom models and such, but its a PITA to install and the community is more restrictive than here. e.g. "PM me for Password" on downloads. But they can do some pretty damn cool things http://smacktalks.org/forums/forum/288-pc/

I've watched like 20 episodes on Youtube of Xavier Woods playing himself in the game and seems like a lot of it is just spamming your best moves and buying time before building for signature and finisher moves. Submission game looks pretty interesting. I also like the way they do kickouts for some reason. I guess it's better than just button mashing.

but then you need VC (LOL) to make your wrestler great again. so you'll probably be grinding like in NBA 2K

I think they condensed it down to just VC compared to the past versions of using VCs and SPs. And seeing two YouTube channels playing MyCareer (Woods' and Denker's) it seems like the feuds are as random as they come. I think I have to hold off until 2K18.
